Hi, pals. I'm working on a catchy little ditty called "I Wanna Woof Moo Christmas!"
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:38am
mariano:

I had no idea there was an earlier Go Go's. This Max Eider just reminded me something I saw yesterday, a YouTube clip of Nirvana doing Teen Spirit on Top of the Pops. By that point he was so sick of that song that he started singing it like Morrissey, was hilarious! And a really good impression.

JakeGould:

Ho! Ho! Ho! Look at how kids in were ripped off on the phone talking to “Santa” back in the day. Only 69 cents per minute? Nice. youtu.be...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:46am
Emily L:

Ha! Amazing.
  12:49am
JakeGould:

I am hyperventilating from this other 1-900 Santa commercial; it’s even more amazing. “I’ll tell you how to hey a ‘Woopie’ from my Christmas collection!” youtu.be...
  12:50am
JakeGould:

Pay like $3 to “talk” to Santa and then get a cotton ball with goggly eyes from his “collection.”

Full confesh: I called those lines on like 1982 or so. Flipped my dad out.

What happened? Did you talk to Santa or was it a recording?

So apparently Henry Rollins and Cyndi Lauper dueted "Rise Above" recently.

JakeGould:

@mariano: Prerecorded message. Clearly on tape. With encouragement to press buttons on the phone to hear more stories. To this day I still regret doing it because there was a $4-5 extra charge on my dad’s bill.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:52am
coelacanth∅:

hey you never know! they were at emi when the beatles were and their label didn't understand what they were doing. out of the sheer ignorance of their label they could've been told to make one for promotional purposes.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:55am
mariano:

Haha! I can see the execs doing that, @coela. I'm imagining a voice-over like in Spinal Tap's Christmas With the Devil: "This is Spinal Tap, wishing you and yours the very happiest of Holiday seasons."
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:56am
Emily L:

And a happy Can-ukkah to all!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:58am

Almost played Christmas With the Devil! Pairs will with King Diamond's No Presents for Christmas
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:00am
mariano:

That would be an excellent pairing, Emily!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:03am
mariano:

No presents for Christmas because the rats ate them, there's real narrative continuity between the two.

Cool version of I Won't Hurt You! I've only heard the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band version.

..."x" is just a shorthand version of "christ", or "christos" in the greek alphabet; pronounced as we say those words.
...i might not be completely accurate! but it's something like that.
...christ is still in xmas!

Hubig Pie:

St Etienne is the patron saint of groovy music
  2:12am
greatbarrington:

i think it has something to do with Kris Kross, the duo
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:13am
coelacanth∅:

and not Chris Cross, from ultravox!?
  2:14am
greatbarrington:

I was trying to explain Kris Kross to some modern day youngsters and they thought the concept was not fully iterated, that one should only wear their jacket backward and the other wear his pants backward
